Description
Rid'Up Safety Stirrup Plus - Patented Automatic Release Riding Stirrups
The Rid'Up Safety Stirrup Plus is a pair of safety riding stirrups fitted with a patented "Look" automatic safety snatching system, which is designed to release the rider's foot in the event of a fall. They are best for riders of any age or level who want a genuine safety release stirrup that also improves comfort, with a wide 12cm tread, an elastomer-damped footbed and two rows of steel cleats for grip.
Each stirrup weighs 440 grams and is built from polyamide with fibres, with an Ixef buckle. There is no minimum rider weight or shoe size, so the same stirrup works for adults on a warmblood and for children on a pony. Browse more stirrups to compare options.

How to Use
- Thread each stirrup onto your stirrup leathers using the eye, making sure the leather sits flat and untwisted.
- Run the leathers onto the saddle's stirrup bars and check the safety catch position as normal.
- Set your stirrup length, then check both sides are even before mounting.
- Place the ball of your foot on the tread so the cleats support the widest part of the sole.
- Check the release mechanism and the footbed before every ride, and after any fall.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth after muddy or wet work and allow to dry naturally, away from direct heat.
